From eeb61e53ea19be0c4015b00b2e8b3b2185436f2b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kirill Tkhai Date: Mon, 27 Oct 2014 14:18:25 +0400 Subject: [PATCH] sched: Fix race between task_group and sched_task_group The race may happen when somebody is changing task_group of a forking task. Child's cgroup is the same as parent's after dup_task_struct() (there just memory copying). Also, cfs_rq and rt_rq are the same as parent's. But if parent changes its task_group before it's called cgroup_post_fork(), we do not reflect this situation on child. Child's cfs_rq and rt_rq remain the same, while child's task_group changes in cgroup_post_fork(). To fix this we introduce fork() method, which calls sched_move_task() directly. This function changes sched_task_group on appropriate (also its logic has no problem with freshly created tasks, so we shouldn't introduce something special; we are able just to use it). Possibly, this decides the Burke Libbey's problem: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/10/24/456 Signed-off-by: Kirill Tkhai Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) Cc: Linus Torvalds Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1414405105.19914.169.camel@tkhai Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar --- Reading git-format-patch failed
